The site occupies improved pastureland on a southwest-facing slope, where centuries of weathering have softened but not erased its distinctive rectangular footprint. Measuring roughly 28 metres from northwest to southeast and 26 metres from northeast to southwest, the enclosure is defined by an earthen scarp that still rises about 35 centimetres above the surrounding field, with walls varying between 25 and 28 metres in length on each side.

What makes this site particularly interesting is its surviving defensive architecture. A fosse, or defensive ditch, runs around the perimeter, measuring nearly 6 metres in total width with a base width of just over 3 metres, though time has reduced its depth to a mere 10 centimetres. The ditch appears to have been deliberately interrupted, or causewayed, at the northeast side, where a levelled section in the scarp suggests the location of the original entrance. Traces of an outer defensive bank can still be detected along portions of the southwest and northwest sides, standing about 25 centimetres high on its exterior face.

The interior of the enclosure follows the natural contour of the land, sloping gently towards the southwest. While the site may appear unremarkable to the casual observer; little more than subtle undulations in a peaceful field; it represents an important piece of medieval settlement history, likely dating from the Anglo-Norman period when such moated sites served as fortified homesteads for colonising families. These earthwork remains, compiled by Jean Farrelly in August 2011, continue to mark the landscape as a place where defensive concerns once shaped daily life in medieval Ireland.
